Ah, the leaves are turning, I'm not melting in the heat - it must be cuffing season; as my focus shifts to - I really want a partner again.

I'm 47, divorced single dad (full time custody). Seeking LTR with someone with shall we say more traditional ideals.

Let me cover the dealbreakers to tldr. I do smoke, I will quit again - Just not there yet; You'll likely have to tolerate it, and probably some slips as I attempt again - I did manage to quit for 4-5 years not so long ago. I do have a child who lives with me (few/no breaks). We're allergic to cats - No I can't live on allergy meds so you can have a cat (but we do have a small dog). I am NeuroSpicy - and my emotional intelligence is not my strong suit - However I do understand this and try to actually communicate my way through this. I've reached the point in life where I don't think I'm having more kids.

The goods, I'm tall 6'2 dark and handsome 😁 Bit of a dad-bod, not a huge belly - just overall Big frame (as in I struggle to find clothes that fit and don't look like a trash bag). Bald, Bearded. No tattoos as I can't handle having that many women fawn over me (I can dream). Geeky creator & maker - don't have the attention span to be much of a gamer. I'm always learning, and trying to improve myself. I do understand my limitations in a relationship and really try to mitigate them. Personality type is INTJ, that really does seem to fit me to a T, whether thats good or bad I suppose. I've been single for 6years, while I've had my mental health struggles - I'm in a good place now and want to keep it that way, I've come a long way in dealing with my past issues (there's still a few that just take time and more work).

What I'm looking for - I do honestly prefer a shorter girl, I do still struggle with tall women - especially if they choose to get angry/loud - its a trigger I haven't been able to resolve so far. I do want a partner, and I do want a partner who would embrace more traditional gender roles. Not a "yeah this works for a year or two" - actually want my best friend not someone I can live with but someone I can't live without. Acts of service and physical touch are my love languages - I'd really like someone who shares them. I really do want someone who actually wants to be my little spoon and wants a daily make-out session - not just in the honeymoon phase.

If none of this sounds crazy to you, and you want to talk more, send me a chat/dm. I would prefer local-ish, but not opposed to starting LDR (but with understanding you should be willing to come visit fairly regularly).
